Matter samples will not connect to Google Home Nest (2nd gen)

[Ignacio Lopez]

Hi,

I have tried to connect some of the matter samples ot a google home nest without any luck. I am following 'Stage 1' from this guide:

devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../matter-testing-nrf-connect-sdk-platform-with-apple-google-and-samsung-ecosystems-218911247

This is my data setup

- Use of the same account on Google developer account and google home app.

- Added samples PID and VID to Google developer dashboard:

- Google Nest Hub (2nd generation) firmware version: 1.56.324896

- Google Home iOS app version: 3.0.0

- Bluetooth advertising start on the device:

- nRF Connect Samples tried: light_bulb, light_switch, and lock on versions (v2.1.1, v2.1.3, v2.2.0, and v2.3.0)

This is frustrating because the guide is almost at user level. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Ok I missed below info:

A mobile device (test phone) that meets the minimum requirements:

• Android O (8.1, API level 27) or newer (iOS support to be added later)

https://developers.home.google.com/matter/get-started?hl=en

Android phone is on its way.
